2020 Memorial Day Monday: Failed New York Governor releases a 51-page edict outlining how the state will reopen in the event COVID-19- communist China’s ‘gift to the world’ which is sad. The (former) Empire State will never be the same what with a constant stream of middle-and-upper-middle class citizens leaving for elsewhere. Here are the statistics for the Wuhan Virus for today, first the globe: 5,490,954 confirmed cases, 345,962 confirmed deaths, but 2,228,952 confirmed recoveries which is amazing and a good sign.

2020 Memorial Day Monday A: Here are the statistics for the United States: 1,696,874 confirmed cases, 99,459 confirmed deaths, but 352,612 confirmed recoveries which would resemble the percentage of the globe IF the various Blue State governors would be honest and present the numbers of recoveries but they won’t. They seek to keep things locked down which in our view is criminal: it demonstrates the COLLUSION between the Democratic Party and their communist Chinese taskmasters in Beijing and here in our country. We must thwart them.

2020 Memorial Day Monday B: In the three states in which the world-famous American Institute of Culinary Politics-The Elemental News of the Day has chef-authors- California, Hawaii, and Washington, here are the numbers, California first: 94,558 confirmed cases, 3,785 confirmed deaths, BUT NO MENTION of confirmed recoveries which demonstrates the scumbag Gov. Gavin Newsom KNOWS that if he shared them, NO one would obey his stay-at-home orders. In Hawaii, here are the figures: 643 confirmed cases, 17 confirmed deaths, and 591 confirmed recoveries for which, we must thank Gov. David Ige for his honesty. Finally, in Washington state where whacked-out Governor Jay Inslee holds power (people, vote this baboon out!), here are the stats: 20,065 confirmed cases, 1,070 confirmed deaths, and sadly, like California, NO mention of confirmed recoveries. You know, Washington was once a wonderful state but now- in the grip of Democrats- languishes in the throes of Democratic-Socialism! Free California! Free Washington! Free Tibet! Free Hong Kong! Free Macau! Free and independent Taiwan (until they liberate the mainland)! Free from Democratic-Socialism and Communism!

ALBUM OF THE DAY AT THE AICPENDBLOG.COM:

On June 05, 1995, Pink Floyd released a new live album, this one a two-CD effort that featured more of the band’s tunes from its career. It is a fabulous album and a film also exists that demonstrates how powerful this group was and why they are so important in the annals of music history. We love this album and know you will, too, which is why we encourage everyone to seek it out and to add it to your collection. We know you will love it as much as we do and it’s a shame that Roger Waters could not have been enticed to return to the fold.

[i] We hope to present the music of the Nice as well as Emerson, Lake & Palmer at some point within the next five years. Please remain posted for the day that we do.

[ii] We promoted the music of Blossom Toes beginning on Monday, 01-June-2015 through Sunday, 07-June-2015. We hope you will seek them out and add them to your growing music collection.

[iii] The music of this famed British band, Family as well as the spin-off group, Streetwalkers, appeared on Tuesday, 08-October-2013 through Thursday, 31-October-2013. Sadly, at the time, we failed to promote the music of both Axis Point as well as Roger Chapman’s solo catalog so we hope to correct those mistakes sometime within the next five years.

[iv] We hope to promote the music of the Outlaws when we begin promoting the music of country artists. Please remain alert for the day we do as you will enjoy them.

[v] We shared the music of the Stones beginning Tuesday, 22-March-2016 through Sunday, 28-August-2016. This included the members’ solo projects. We sure as heck hope you check out the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richard, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and Mick Taylor. Ronnie Wood you can find during the presentation of the Faces. Sadly, we should have been clairvoyant and presented the music of Marianne Faithful, too. Perhaps one day we will.

[vi] Not sure as to when we will promote the music of the legendary British band, the Pretty Things, but when we do, you will love them so remain vigilant for the day we do.

[vii] We promoted the music of the James Gang beginning on Saturday, 11-August-2012 through Monday, 27-August-2012. We did not do the solo discography of Joe Walsh at the time but when we arrive at the Eagles, we most certainly will.

[viii] On Wednesday, 14-June-2017, we began presenting the music of the Guess Who and of its individual members- including Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, and Bravebelt.. The entire discography ran from the above date through Sunday, 01-October-2017. We hope you will check them out.

ALBUM OF THE DAY AT THE AICPENDBLOG.COM:

Following the success of “Wish You Were Here,” Pink Floyd returned to the studio following extensive touring and delivered a lengthy concept album, the classic, “Animals.” This album hit record store shelves on January 21, 1977, and is exceptional, extremely exceptional in that to us, it represents a musical facsimile of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” crossed with H. G. Wells’ “Island of Dr. Moreau,” in that it deals with humans but in animal form and the revenge they might enact on their persecutors. We hope you will seek this album out by visiting your favorite site for the all-time greatest rock-and-roll albums as we know you are going to enjoy it as much as we did back then and still do now. We thank you.

[i] Cinco De Mayo commemorates the victory of Mexican rebels over the French Foreign Legion, troops fighting for Emperor Maximillian. In modern times, restaurants and bars have given it new life so they can increase alcohol and food sales. Police departments across the land make mass arrests of drunken drivers, thus increasing local municipality coffers.

[ii] We promoted the music of Hot Tuna beginning on Tuesday, 24-April-2012 through Thursday, 23-May-2012.

[iii] We promoted the music of the Jefferson Airplane, the Jefferson Starship, Starship, and of the various bands’ members beginning on Tuesday, 05-April-2011 through Sunday, 22-May-2011. Please look for them and enjoy.

[v] The music of this famed British band, Family as well as the spin-off group, Streetwalkers, appeared on Tuesday, 08-October-2013 through Thursday, 31-October-2013. Sadly, at the time, we failed to promote the music of both Axis Point as well as Roger Chapman’s solo catalog so we hope to correct those mistakes sometime within the next five years.

[vi] We hope to offer the music of Black Sabbath sometime in the next decade.

ALBUM OF THE DAY AT THE AICPENDBLOG.COM:

On June 29, 1968, Pink Floyd returned with its sophomore effort, the acclaimed “A Saucerful of Secrets.” This album is the ONLY album among the group’s efforts to feature a quintet. Besides Syd Barrett (vocals/guitars), Roger Waters (bass/vocals), Nicky Mason (drums and percussion), and Rick Wright (keyboards/vocals), was David Gilmour (guitar/vocals). Gilmour was coming on board due to the mental meltdown of Barrett who would soon be confined to insane asylums with periods of wandering the streets of London. This album was not quite as strong as its predecessor but still ranks among the top releases of its time. We hope you will seek this one out at whatever site you shop for nothing but the absolute best in music as folks, you damn sure are going to love it.

[i] The music of this famed British band, Family as well as the spin-off group, Streetwalkers, appeared on Tuesday, 08-October-2013 through Thursday, 31-October-2013. Sadly, at the time, we failed to promote the music of both Axis Point as well as Roger Chapman’s solo catalog so we hope to correct those mistakes sometime within the next five years.

[ii] We began presenting the music of the Animals, of Eric Burdon and the Animals, of Eric Burdon, Eric Burdon and War, and War beginning on Monday, 08-June-2015 and the presentation ran through Sunday, 02-August-2015. We hope you will seek them out and consider making them a part of your listening pleasure.

[iii] When the time will be right for the presentation of Elvis Presley is unknown but if we are still going strong in the 2030s, we expect to do so. Please, stay tuned.

[iv] Not clear as to when we present the music of the Fairport Convention and of Richard Thompson, their famed guitarist but we sure as heck hope we do within the next decade.

[v] We promoted “Led Zeppelin IV” on Saturday, 12-July-2014. This ranks among the greatest albums of all time.

[vi] This whack-job girl- Greta Thunberg- should get some sort of mental and emotional aid because she and other young people like her have been indoctrinated by people seeking to deploy them to carry out their Marxist agenda.

ALBUM OF THE DAY AT THE AICPENDBLOG.COM:

We have mentioned that sometimes, Bryan Ferry hits the nail on the head and other times, he leaves his listeners stumbling around in the dark searching for a theme. Well, “The Bride Stripped Bare” (1978), is an album that has some dark movements but then, every album Ferry records is a stunning individualistic effort that fans enjoy. Ferry defined Roxy Music, Roxy Music defined Ferry, and one can see and hear common threads roaming through the works of each. We hope you will look for this fabulous album out wherever you shop for the finest in rock music. We know you will enjoy it.

How this senile crone clings to power is beyond millions of Americans; we expect her to pay the price on Election Day 2020 becoming the first House speaker to lose the position not once but twice, along with her congressional seat.

The second album by Roxy Music, “For Your Pleasure” came out in 1973 and featured a slightly altered lineup of Brian Eno (vocals, electronics), Phil Manzanera (guitars), Andy Mackay (oboes, saxophones), Paul Thompson (drums), and John Porter (bass). As with most sophomore efforts, the band had more time to devote to the album, which yielded some amazing tunes such as “Do the Strand,” and “In Every Home a Heartache.” The band ranks at the top of all 1970s bands because Ferry has a unique vocal style, Manzanera and his guitar are raw, and primitive while Mackay and his oboe and saxophones capped off with Brian Eno and his synthesizers and electronics make a fantastic combination. This is a superb album so please buy it wherever you buy the finest in music.

As always, we thank the good folks at Brainy History for doing the extremely challenging work of compiling historical happenings, dates, and everything else by which at the American Institute of Culinary Politics-Elemental News of the Day publish a blog that draws readers from all over the world!
